Imperial Insurance Law (English: Reichsversicherungsordnung)

Japanese: 帝国保険法 - ていこくほけんほう（英語表記）Reichsversicherungsordnung

Germany's unified social insurance legislation was enacted in 1911, adding survivor's insurance to the sickness, accident, and invalidity insurance established in the 1880s. It is also translated as the German Social Insurance Act. The law is made up of six parts, three of which are for sickness, accident, and pension insurance, and the remaining parts are for general provisions and common regulations. The content of the law has been revised many times since then, but the structure has remained almost the same to this day. The aim of the law was to unify the legal provisions and competent authorities related to workers' insurance, but at the same time, improvements were made to the system, such as the introduction of survivor's insurance and the expansion of the scope of application.

1880年代に創設された疾病保険，災害保険，廃疾保険に新たに遺族保険を加えて1911年に制定されたドイツの統一的社会保険立法。ドイツ国社会保険法とも訳される。全体は6編によって構成され，うち3編が疾病，災害，年金の各保険に，残りが総則と共通規定にあてられる。法律の内容はその後たびたび改められたが，構成はほぼそのままの形で今日まで引き継がれた。法律制定のねらいは労働者保険に関する法規定や所管庁の統一化にあったが，同時に遺族保険の導入，適用範囲の拡大などの制度改善も行われた。
